WESLEY KNIGHT OF 27TH AVENUE SAID HE REALIZED THAT FOR MORE <br />PEOPLE, YOU MUST HAVE MORE SEWAGE FACILITIES, BUT FELT THERE MUST BE A <br />LOT OF THOUGHT BEFORE YOU JUSTPUT A PLANT ANYWHERE "HIT OR MISS," <br />DICK BIRD OF REBEL ROAD OBJECTED TO THE PROPOSED SEWER PLANT <br />AND SAID THAT OBVIOUSLY THE DEVELOPER DID NOT WANT TO USE THE MORE <br />VALUABLE LAND CLOSER TO TOWN FOR THE PLANT WHEN THEY COULD PUT IT ELSE- <br />WHERE. <br />COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED THAT, SPEAKING AS AN ENGINEER, <br />HE UNDERSTOOD THE PROBLEMS INVOLVED AND REALIZED THAT NO ONE EVER WANTS <br />A SEWER PLANT IN THEIR AREA, BUT POINTED OUT THAT THE DAY OF THE INDIVID- <br />UAL WELLS, SEPTIC TANKS, AND SMALL INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS MAY SOON <br />BE OVER. EVENTUALLY TUE COUNTY MUST HAVE A CENTRAL SEWER SYSTEM, AND <br />HE FELT THE DEVELOPERS WERE TRYING TO WORK IN THIS DIRECTION. HE STATED <br />HE WOULD RATHER SEE A PRIVATE COMPANY BUILD SUCH A PLANT AS THEN YOU <br />WOULD NOT BE TAXED FOR IT. <br />CHAIRMAN LOY NOTED THAT WHAT WAS BEING OFFERED TO THIS COUNTY <br />IN DUE TIME IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME ABOUT, BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO SO <br />QUICKLY CHANGE DIRECTION. SHE KNOWS THAT IT IS. HARD FOR PEOPLE IN THE - <br />COMMUNITY TO ACCEPT THE CHANGES THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME AND IS <br />SORRY ABOUT THE TIME ELEMENT AS SHE FEELS THE PROPOSAL DESERVES CONSID- <br />ERATION. SHE STATED THAT SHE KNEW THE PEOPLE BRINGING THE PROPOSAL TO <br />US HAVE AN EXTREMELY FINE REPUTATION AND HAVE BEEN A CREDIT TO THE <br />COMMUNITY WHERE THEY HAVE OPERATED PREVIOUSLY, BUT FELT AT THIS TIME SHE <br />WOULD HAVE TO OPPOSE THE GRANTING OF THIS FRANCHISE. <br />COMMISSIONER MASSEY SAID HE DEFINITELY FELT WE WOULD NOT WANT <br />THE GOVERNMENT INVOLVED IN IT, BUT HE ALSO POINTED THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE <br />ARE ALREADY ESTABLISHED HERE. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WILL HAVE TO OPPOSE THE <br />FRANCHISE ON THE BASIS THAT THERE IS PROBABLY A FLAW IN THE ZONING <br />ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A WATER AND SEWER PLANT DIS- <br />JOINTED FROM THE PROPERTY IT IS GOING TO SERVE, EVEN THOUGH IT REQUIRES <br />SITE PLAN APPROVAL. HE DOES APPROVE THE FUTURE THINKING, BUT FEELS IT <br />SHOULD BE STARTED IN THE PIECE OF PROPERTY IT IS GOING TO SERVE. <br />-43- <br />SEP 241975 <br />tot 23 36d <br />
